This will be my second Romantic Times convention and I think I may be more excited this year than I was last year. I’m almost packed and ready and my to-do list is slowly getting smaller. My goodies and handouts are about 95% finished. I’m torn between worrying over whether I am taking too many or not enough.

I suspect I’ve packed too many shoes and not enough clothes. So if you see a fashion-challenged brunette wondering around lost, be kind to her, lol. I’m out of my element with the whole fashion/style thing. Although I did buy a dress, lol. Who knows whether I’ll actually wear it or not.

I’ll be signing at Friday’s ebook expo and I’ll be at Romancing the Plaza Saturday afternoon. Please don’t hesitate to stop by and say hello. I’m looking forward to meeting you.

I’ll have a new release coming in June with Siren Publishing! I am so excited to share Azrael and Diane’s story with everyone. I’ve tinkered with their story off and on for what seems like forever but now it’s ready to be shared. It opens up a whole new world and introduces a cast of new characters and I can’t wait for everyone to meet them.

I’m also using a new or modified pseudonym, Amy J. Hawthorn. I hope it doesn’t get too confusing for everyone but I think it was the right decision for me and it came at a time where big changes are happening.

At least they’re exciting plans for me, an author and shameless book geek. I’ll use any excuse I can to visit with the girls and talk books and have some girl time.

In May I’ll be at RT. I attended my first Romantic Times convention last year and it was so much more than I expected. I was so happy that I went. I’ll be going again this spring and this time I’ll be there as a published author. I’ll be there for the entire convention including the Ebook expo on Thursday May 2. I’ll have goodies too, so if you come to RT please stop by and say hello. I’ll be looking forward to it.

The Lori Foster Reader Author get together happens in June. I’ll be attending this event for the first time and am really looking forward to it. And I’ll probably have goodies there too.
